What do omega 3s do for horses?

Giving your horse a source of omega-3 fats can support a calm demeanor, immune function, and joint health. Omega-3 fats also help prevent dry skin and dull coats and support weight maintenance. The main healthful omega-3s are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).

What kind of oil is good for horses?

For boosting calories and keeping omega balance in check, canola or soybean oil would be a far better choice than corn oil,” explained Whitehouse. Fish oil has superior fatty acid content, with an omega-3 to omega-6 ratio of 6:1, but it is generally not fed to increase energy consumption.

How much omega

Recommended daily dosage for a 1,000 lb horse is 2 scoops. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Healthy Weight is supportive in many ways including allergy response, and skin, coat, gastric, and muscle health. For horses that need to gain weight, Healthy Weight provides calories in addition to forage.

Is omega

There is no established ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 for horses, however a horse's natural diet contains more Omega 3 than Omega 6, so keeping your horse's diet ratio at 1: 1 or less is logically what will be best.

What oil is best for horses with arthritis?

Of the common sources of oil fed to horses today, linseed is the highest in omega 3 and lowest in omega 6, therefore having the greatest anti-inflammatory potential.
